PORTLAND, OR: Alesong Brewing & Blending is thrilled to partner with North Portland’s Bad Habit Room (5433 N Michigan Ave.) for an evening of beer cocktails on Thursday, October 20th from 5-10pm.

- Rain Song: Raindrops on Roses, Pimm’s No. 1

Alesong brewers will be on hand for the evening to chat about their beers and the cocktails alongside the Bad Habit Room crew.
“This is a fun event for us that really emphasizes our love of all delicious food and beverages,” said Matt Van Wyk, Alesong co-founder. “Alesong is of course centered around barrel-aged beers, but we take inspiration from so many places, including cocktails, when crafting our beers, so why not flip that and use our beers to make some cocktails? We always love the collaboration across mediums and I’m really looking forward to enjoying a few of these myself at the event!”
ABOUT ALESONG BREWING AND BLENDING: Alesong Brewing and Blending is a small artisan brewery based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country with a second tasting room in downtown Eugene. The all-barrel-aged brewery crafts unique and small-batch beers, brewing both wild and non-wild styles that span the flavor spectrum. Once the beer in barrels has matured, the team samples and selects each barrel individually to blend. Paying homage to old-world Lambic blenders and artisan winemakers, Alesong believes that the final, balanced blend of a barrel-aged beer is much more complex and satisfying than the sum of its parts or each individual barrel by itself.
